Evenstar Gloves

I’ve now knitted a second pair of these, and written up the pattern as I’ve gone along. There are some minor changes from the originals, but the finished glove is pretty much the same.

These long, fingerless gloves were originally created during our Lord of the Rings extended editions watch-a-thon, and are inspired by Arwen as I imagine her from the books. The beautiful silvery-blue yarn made me think of starlight and of the Evenstar of her people.

Hi
i love the pattern. I was wondering if you could help me with something I’m curently on my 4th attempet and am haveing problems makeing the bumps at the bottom before you start the cable pattern. any segestions?

Hi there, I’d love to help but I’m not sure what you mean by ‘the bumps at the bottom’? After casting on you knit 6 rounds of P4 K4 rib (ie [purl 4, knit 4] repeat to end) , then start the cable pattern. If you could explain a bit more what you’re having problems with, I’ll try and help some more

This pattern is so gorgeous! I had never knitted anything with double-pointed needles before, but I fell deeply in love with these gloves the moment I saw them, went out and bought the needles, and started knitting. I had never done anything nearly so difficult before, but my, it was worth it! I am now typing while wearing my newly completed pair. Thank you so much for posting this pattern! The fact that they were inspired by Arwen Undomiel makes me even happier. They definitely fit how I think of her as well.

Hello,
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. This is my first cabled pattern. I am having a little problem with the main cable pattern at the 21st round where it says to do the first wrapping around. It also seems to imply there are 17 stiches to work in the cable this round but in all rounds previously there where 16. It seems to be off somehow..it isn’t falling where it should. Did you have this problem or am I missing something? Thank you for all your help.

I was having trouble with another pattern for fingerless gloves and I ran across this pattern on Google. Being a huge LotR fan, I knew I had to knit them. Surprisingly, they were easier than I though they would be, especially considering I’ve only ever knit a couple of scarves, hats, and one baby sweater. Thanks so much for the pattern!
